What are good ICS roms for T989? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I recently purchased a Samsung T989 and decided to root and try out some custom ICS roms. The problem is that I could only find 2: Cyanogenmod and Darkside Evolution 3 v8. I don't want to flash a pure rom like cyanogen, I want a rom similar to the stock but without the bloatware. I also want it to be fast. So far, Darkside was really good, I just want to try others if there are any. I would appreciate it if you also included a link with your suggestion.
P.S: When I searched for roms on XDA, I only got results for I9100, so I decided to ask here. Thanks

Since you don't want AOSP (AOKP/CM) and have already tried Evo, I recommend checking out Jedi Mind Trick.
I've never touched a TW ROM that was so FAST in my life!

Stick with nontouch or twrp. There's the new recovery for non touch and touch, but i think the non touch is more complete. Haven't read the thread in a couple days.

Best Recommended Rom/Kernel For The Epic 4G Touch?

I have rooted phones in the past and loved it. Looking to root my new galaxy s2 epic 4g touch for sprint. Would like to get the best and easiest instructions as well as the best rom/kernel combination. Would like something that is stable and doesn't have too many bugs. Please help yall! If you got to send me a link, that's fine. Just so many posts on here don't know where to start lol

Best rom, by far is strongsteves odexed. Chris's EL26kernel is baked in: (I have 2 E4GT's. One is always running strongsteve)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1323763
Use sfhubs one touch root (look in the devs section). This will get you up and rooted, then choose option c to install a custom recovery. As far as a ROM solution, I am going to have to respectfully disagree with the previous post. Calk's e4gt ROM, ver 2.8.1. Seems to be the most stable and popular ROM around here. That is where I would start.

I second that. I prefer calk's with the desperado kernel.
I will have to respectfully disagree with the last two posts. This isn't a popularity contest, it's about the most reliable rom. Have either of you tried strongsteves? I'm running calks latest on my 2nd E4GT. Odex plainly runs smoother without any tweaks. The battery life is far better as well. Don't take what I'm saying the wrong way. I like calks and always have. That being said, strongsteve is just all around a better rom

+1 on Blazer.
3.8 should be out today.
Everyone will have a different opinion on roms etc, so I'll try to just state facts.
Calk's rom is very nice. In fact a lot of roms are created using his as a base. That speaks for itself. He's also very responsive, concise, and very well respected.
The same can be said about PhantomHacker's roms. He has his own Starburst rom - very oem'ish, one of the first custom roms out (but I think Unnamed has taken the lead in this category) and also the Blazer series roms (based off of Calks rom too)
Again, he's very responsive, well respected, and writes well.
That being said, there are many other Super custom roms, with crazy fonts, icons, etc. Too crazy for myself.
StrongSteve's rom should be solid too.
Bottom line, make a backup of something solid, and try out anything you find appealing. Check out the screenshots in the OP for many of them. Don't be scared. Ask Questions- but read the threads first. If you just don't like one, go back to the backup I was talking about.
Welcome buddy!!!! Have fun and be nice to everyone. (not that you weren't)
I've tried a few different ROMS but Blazer has been solid for me and my use..and I understand with the newest update the battery is suppose to be better but you should try them out and see what works for you and your use of the phone.

What do you mean it is not cwm recovery? Then what is it?
Listen, get the autoroot kit, follow instructions and choose option c and then option e. You should now have ek02 rom/kernel with cwm. Then reboot into cwm recovery by holding the volume up button and the power button at the same time. From there, flash whatever rom you want.
I'm on EL29 and it didn't work, my phone never connected with the auto root, I tried it several times. The only option for EL29 is L or M and I tried L with the latest auto root and it said it would connect, so I tried the other and that at least got me to the other screen, but it never connected

By far the best rom out there for you is the one you flash on your phone and makes you feel like never flashing another rom. Until you get to that rom I suggest you flash them all. Not that many of them so it should take you about a week to figure out what you like.... Happy Flashing

Best Custom Rom RIght Now?

I've been doing a lot of research regarding custom Sprint GS3 ROMs as I'm finally getting my GS3 today.
I really want something Jelly Bean based, but only if it's really not too buggy. CM10 looks sick but there still seem to be many bugs. I don't know much about AOKP.
What about non Jelly Bean? Is Blazer the best? At the very least something that gives me extra features and a longer battery life is preferred over stock. I still have to do reading regarding how to update ROMs without losing user data etc.
Anyways, can users of those three ROMs describe what problems they run into during regular daily usage? If the only bugs are minor or wouldn't affect me I don't mind using the ROM while the kinks are being worked out.
Thanks!

Haha I'm trying to NOT become a flashaholic. Back when I first got an iPod Touch (1st gen) and after that an iPhone 3G, 3GS, and 4, I was really into jailbreaking and it got pretty annoying after a while so I stopped. I just want Jelly Bean because it seems so much smoother than ICS.

Man, this GS3 is so shiny
Now I really just want to avoid having to constantly flash my ROM, since I assume doing so will wipe alll of my apps/settings. Is that the case, or is such information stored in such a way that if I flash to a new ROM my apps and media are still intact?
Also I'll look into FreeGS3 more. I'm itching for Jelly Bean, but I don't think CM10 is usable enough yet for me.

I would agree with this. I've flashed most of the ROMs out for the SG3 and i've enjoyed Blazer the most. It's simple, easy and perfect for my needs. The other ROMs i've flashed are great as well, I just don't have the desire to have a theme on my device. What's important to me is a ROM that will run smoothly w/o any latency from my multitasking on the go. Spend a day or week and flash them all, you'll find what you like.. guarantee it.

Im pretty sure if you use Titanium back and back up everything. ( apps and all data) that it will save you layout of the home screens and everything else. The only thing I dont think get back on those screens are widgets but those can be fix fast.

I've been using/setting up FreeGS3 for the past few hours and it's great. Very smooth and not too far from stock (which I'm kind of indifferent about I guess since this is my first Android phone). Once I get all of my apps/preferences up and running and my media transferred we'll see how it goes.
Thanks for input everyone! Hopefully the actual CM10 or another Jelly Bean based ROM will be available sometime over the next month.

[Q] Best ROM for EPiC Touch?? Stable/battery life

Just got my wife an Epic Touch 4G, I wanted to install CM9 on it, but I don't see it anywhere? I want something stable, with good battery life. What ROMS do you recommend ? can be TW/AOSP, as long as its STABLE and everything works. Shes rocking stock ICS on it now.

I use that rom as my dd. Its calk's worked baked in to ff18 with some other stuff. Its almost stock feel. Most bloat removed. Ton of mods.
There is another awesome rom called blu kuban. Not sure if it fits your needs. Its super themed with awesome blue and black colors. Has its own kernel with a ton of cpu tweaks. Blu kuban is like the ultimate rom.

You could also try the "black" ROM, it's very stable and has a great battery life. It is off of ff18 right now but is going to move to fh13 soon.
Its funny how much this question gets asked. I would read up thoroughly on how to flash Roms and root or whatever it is you you want to do and go to the development section read about what is going on and how to install whatever ROM you want to try and try it, see how it works for you and if you don't like take it off. Trial and error is your best bet just make sure you aren't blindly flashing and installing stuff if you don't know what you are doing. Qbking77 has a lot of helpful videos on YouTube also.

[Q] Recommendations for updating my Epic 4G

Hi All,
I'm looking to update my phone with a new ROM/OS. I've rooted before and believe I currently have a MIDNIGHT ROM loaded (see attached phone screen-shot). I see references to CM9 and CM10, ICS/JB. I think i know the processes, ODIN, etc.... I'd just like to be pointed to the most stable, current files.
Thanks in advance.
If you want the most stable and best for the Epic 4G and coming from Midnight you may want to stick with one of the FC09 Toichwiz ROMs. If you are more adventurous and don't mind an AOSP ROM then CM9 is Ice Cream Sandwich for this phone. There are still a few bugs in CM10 and the Jellybean variants.

TPR is a great stable ROM. Great battery life, all the toggles, smoothness tweaks, etc. I went to it after CleanGB and even gave the included Zeam Launcher a whirl. Try it out. You won't be disappointed. I got the flashing bug after a couple months and have tried AOKP M6, CM9, then went back to TPR. Now I've gone to CM10, but may yet go back to TPR for the stability and great battery life.
Edit---
Be sure to Odin or flash the FC09 modem.

I agree with the TPR comments BUT if you want that AOSP variant and stable with great battery life go to CM7. BATTERY life is the KEY to my statement/point of view.

Great ROM (only flashed it last night), very responsive, i love the theme and Toggles! Great job Kenny. I did not Odin or flash the FC09 modem, what am I missing?
Thanks

Thank you my friend. Which modem are you running? There are different schools of thought on modems. I always just go with latest official after the problems with the leaked modems. But whatever gives you beat speed and signal for you.

Frankly, I can't say for sure if FC09 is any better than earlier versions, but I have always had good luck running the latest official released modem. If you're comfortable using Odin, changing modems is easy and not particularly risky. There are CWM flashable versions of the modems, but that involves flashing a modded kernel, flashing the modem, then reflashing your intended kernel. To be honest, I think Odin is safer and simpler for modems.

EVO ROM
OK Guys,
I'm really really pleased with the TPR for my EPIC 4G (thanks kenny), now I need a recommendation for my wife's HTC EVO 4G (Sprint also).
Thanks in advance.

Synergy roms are really good for the evo.... my wife is loving cm7 on her evo... super stable and great battery life... perfect for the wife...
based on the screenshot your still on an old modem, which u might want to keep or might want to change....
im on fc09 which is the 2nd latest and i believe to be the most popular, however there is a new modem (fc19)
aokp milestone 6 seems pretty stable, i have a good experience with it......
+1 all the roms are awesome but its between tpr and clean gb hands down.... All are awesome so just depends on what you like....

FC09 is the latest. FC19 is a leak that never was released.

Sooooooo.........
Can I use TPR on the EVO, if so it's a no brainer.
I switched to the fc09 modem, did not detect any significant change in performance.

Nope, no tpr for the evo... pretty much all the synergy roms for the evo and super stable though...
